ZBrush Tutorial - Zapplink / Image plane Plugins. New plugins: Alpha & Texture Loaders (updated 11/11/2008) Drawing my inspiration from the Gnomon Alpha Browser released some weeks back, I've written these two plugins to enable you to browse and load images from your own library of alphas and textures. Quick access thumbnails of all your Alphas and Textures Uses your own folder and file names Up to 250 images per tab - 2,500 images in all for each loader Search for files by name Add files to 'Favorites' tab for batch loading by hotkey. As the loaders use your folder and file names, you can organize your library in a way that is meaningful to you, speeding your workflow. Tabs can be cleared at any time, so that new 'project' folders can be added as necessary. Files can be quickly loaded or selected as Favorites for batch loading at the start of a ZBrush session.INSTALLATION: UNZIP the zip file to your ZStartup\ZPlugs folder (..
